A member asked:
Will the emergency room call the police if you won't explain the three bite marks on your butt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Necessarily: It is always best to be completely honest with your doctors so that they can give you the best care possible. Bites from different sources, for example, may require different treatment methods. Physicians are required to report cases of domestic violence to police, but it is up to the patient whether they want to file charges.
